Namina Forna is a Sierra Leonean-American writer who has brought West African mythology into YA fantasy. Her Deathless series, beginning with The Gilded Ones, builds a fantasy world grounded in the history and traditions of West Africa, offering readers something distinct from the European-influenced settings that dominate the genre.
Before publishing her novels, Forna worked in the film industry, and that visual sensibility comes through in her vivid world-building. Her books have been praised for their action, their complex female characters, and the cultural richness of their settings.
